YOU DON'T FEEL YOUNG ANYMORE

verse: C F C F G F C
chorus: Em F C (Am G) x2 Em F C Am Dm G C
outro: C Am Dm G C Fm

waltzing in late, i've lost the debate
& i hope you know how to forget
cause it won't take long, conclusion's foregone
we will scare up another regret.
well i sing the song, but you don't sing along just yet.

sure our chances were slim, you always need a victim
before you can martyr yourself
& the songs come out, a piece you can't do without
& the side effect is more than your health
when your heart's sitting right, your part seems to write itself.

[chorus]
all this history we've built up before
& all this youth spent.  what was it for?
someday soon: you will find you don't feel young anymore

after so many years the fight disappears
& you're playing your last heart string
but regardless of age, when the band takes the stage
i'm waiting for levon to sing
we may have cleaned up the wrecks, but what will the next one bring?

[ch]

all the awkward young lovers alone under covers
cause their hearts are too shy to speak out
hear the boys as they play, & they know what to say
cause the song says to pour your heart out
& when the words get spilled
there's room to be filled from without.

[ch]

[outro]
(you will find you don't feel young anymore) x3
